A global synthesis of ecosystem services provided and disrupted by freshwater bivalve molluscs

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 5, Page 1967-1998, October 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Identification of ecosystem services, i.e. the contributions that ecosystems make to human well‐being, has proven instrumental in galvanising public and political support for safeguarding biodiversity and its benefits to people. Here we synthesise the global evidence on ecosystem services provided and disrupted by freshwater bivalves, a ...

On‐site non‐destructive determination of the remanent magnetization of archaeological finds using field magnetometers

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 205-227, April/June 2022., 2022
Abstract The determination of the natural remanent magnetization (NRM) of archaeological features can be used for magnetic modelling, joining of shards, archaeomagnetic dating or the investigation of the firing–cooling–collapsing order of ancient buildings.

Performance and automation of ancient DNA capture with RNA hyRAD probes

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 3, Page 891-907, April 2022., 2022
Abstract DNA hybridization‐capture techniques allow researchers to focus their sequencing efforts on preselected genomic regions. This feature is especially useful when analysing ancient DNA (aDNA) extracts, which are often dominated by exogenous environmental sources.

Sagittal suture morphological variation in human archaeological populations

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 304, Issue 12, Page 2811-2822, December 2021., 2021
Abstract Cranial sutures join the many bones of the skull. They are therefore points of weakness and consequently subjected to the many mechanical stresses affecting the cranium. However, the way in which this impacts their morphological complexity remains unclear.

A multiproxy approach to studying a large prehistoric enclosure in Ojców, Kraków Upland, Poland

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 543-563, October/December 2021., 2021
Abstract Due to the presence of multiple caves and rock shelters as well as flint outcrops, Ojców Upland is a region with an exceptionally high concentration of prehistoric human settlement traces. It has attracted archaeologists for over 150 years, leading to what was considered to have been a proper prospection of the area.

Mitochondrial DNA analysis of eneolithic trypillians from Ukraine reveals neolithic farming genetic roots [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The agricultural revolution in Eastern Europe began in the Eneolithic with the Cucuteni-Trypillia culture complex. In Ukraine, the Trypillian culture (TC) existed for over two millennia (ca. 5,400–2,700 BCE) and left a wealth of artifacts.
